Creative Women Loves Stripes...

 … (or at least I do)

Couldn't resist … I now own the book The Devil's Cloth: The History of Stripes. It's short; that's good. The beginning section is a bit more serious than I need it to be, but the sections dealing with more recent history really make the connections between stripes and feeling good. Once stripes stopped being associated with monks, prisoners, prostitutes, jugglers, and the French navy, Picasso, Coco Chanel, and others, began dressing in striped shirts; it was just a short jump to associating the stripes with the sea, then the beach, then the sun and feeling goood. Why wouldn't Creative Women use stripes in our products?

I've been going through some of my photos looking for stripes, here, in the my travels, on kids,adding pizazz to decor, and just making people feel good. Take a look:
